What Could Cause Burning Sensation & Numbness On The Left Knee?
I fell down yesterday and landed on my knees. My left knee is what hurts the worst. If I push on the inside of my knee, I get this spreading burning sensation to the oustside of my knee, almost fluid feeling. On top of the burning, it feels kind of numb. What could this mean?
